Defense of our Lake Ports.

WASHINGTON, March 28-The Navy Depart
ment is still prosecuting the inquiries begun
some time ago relative to the ability of the rail-
ways ard canals of the country to transport
boats and naval material from the sea to inland
waters. Il has been learned that the facilities
Of the existing railroads limited to the abili-
by to transport boats Of an extreme length of
no feet. while the Erie canal will permit the
passage from the Atlantic ocean to the lakes of
torpedo boats 100 fee. in length. AS the torpedo
craft necessary for the defense of the lake
ports, and are not required to be as seaworthy
and large as those intended for the protection of
the coast, it is believed that the existing fa-
cilities are ample. The fact that these inquiries
by the department were begun more than year
ago, is regarded by naval officers as a sufficient
answer to any inference that might be drawn to
the effect that they indicate preparations for a
struggle growing out of the fisheries dispute.

bill through at the regulr rate but it was gener
